Congraqtulations for the publication Wikiparika. Indeed, all the efforts and pains that undergo such an exercise do show thier worth in the final outcome of this issue. Can this be enabled for a wider circulation, say,via blogaggregators like Indiblogger / Blogadda etc.? This can bring in much wider involvement of bloggers to the wikimedia and realated projects.

1. [Wikipatrika]: Announcing the third issue of Wikipatrika! (Noopur Raval)
Dear all,
I am very happy to tell you all that the third issue
of Wikipatrika - the community newsletter is finally out! You can check it here: http://wiki.wikimedia.in/WikiPatrika/2012-05
First things first, a humble acknowledgement to all the editors who
helped out with this issue of the newsletter. A special thanks to Gitartha (as), Debanjan (bn), Karthik (en and mr), Pratik (en), DS Vyas and Sushant (gu), Siddhartha (hi), Omshivaprakash (kn), Anoop, Kannan, Sreejith, Viswaprabha and Shiju (ml), Abhishek (mr), Rajesh and Saroj (ne), Mkar and Srikant Kedia (or), Abhiram (sa), Logicwiki and Shanmugam (ta), Arjuna and Rahimanuddin (te). In other contributions, thanks to Srikanth R for Commons, Logic, Santhosh, Achal for Free culture news and Tinu for Press news.
This entire venture could not have been possible without Tanvir's
constant support with templates and tweaks. Forgive me if I have missed someone.
So, what has changed from last time? Since all the
Wikimeetups are listed on Wikipedia here and on the respective community pages, we've omitted the section on events and meetups. Instead, we've added a section onFeatured Interviews which has a GLAM interview this time and the EPOV column (Editor's point of view: INCOTM report).
The idea is to make Wikipatrika a supplement to the mailing lists
and village pumps and not replicate the same information in all places. Hopefully, by the next issue, with more featured interviews, insightful pieces from editors and free culture persons we will be able to achieve that.
The way forward:
It's a proud moment to see the
amount of activity that all our language communities are involved in. We should definitely strive to make Wikipatrika regular and hopefully get more editors to contribute. This is one space where editors can express the dreams, visions and challenges that their Wikipedia community faces. If you have projects you want to publicize or successful projects that could be started in other communities, this is the space to express your opinion! From next time onward, we will coordinate Patrika on https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimedia-in-newsletter mailing list. I welcome you all to join right away and we can discuss ideas for features, changing the format and more!
